What the hell?

Curious that this would be okay in Japan at all.

Yeah that's lame...but you know what? F*ck Poulter.

That dude has the worst attitude.

Edit: Just watched Victor throw his ball in anger, this course/conditions are really getting to these guys

Here's a pic if Matsuyama apologizing on the range after the incident. It looks like Poulter is tweeting as they speak. Poulter sure likes to have an audience.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Poulter irks me in a way no other golfer can. Every time he plays poor I want to bash him on twitter but realize that it is just petty so I don't.

I do enjoy that he uses social media a lot, i wish more golfers did, but ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Poulter's grown on me. No doubt he can be an ass but his international play has won me over. Such a warrior in those events.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Tells me almost all I need to know about Poulter.

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

Poulter is alright and don't really need to know every time he wipes his ass via twitter. I agree that the burying the putter is a jerkass move but lambasting is for the media not your fellow colleagues.

Don't know... In that situation, perhaps hearing it from a fellow player has more effect on his future behavior than hearing it from the press

Poulter being an ass notwithstandin, he had every right to call out Matsuyama on that. That is a dickhead move, burying a putter like that.

He was ok burying the putter in a highly publicized event so he can takes his lumps in public too. I agree with Colin, total dick move on Matsuyama's part.

I guess I am saying if you have a problem with someone like this, say it to his face. Otherwise you can hide like a coward and beat them up on a forum like this...

He barely even made contact with the green. What a drama queen Poulter is. Plus, Matsuyama made a classy move by apologizing to 3 players on the range today.

From my understanding, Poulter was in the group behind Matsuyama so he may not have had the opportunity to call him a dick to his face. I don't think Poulter would have shied away from a direct confrontation. Hell, he knew when he tweeted that he'd be seeing him the next day. Poulter's a certified prick but I have no problem with him calling out Matsuyama on this one.

I agree that something should be said, but not like that. Maybe if the guy had a habit of doing that, but I have no reason to think that's the case here. I IMO, if you don't like something someone did, talk to them. Public humiliation isn't necessary.

You got a source or video to back that up? I didn't see the incident so maybe you're right however, if that was the case how would Poulter even be aware of the incident?

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
